Friday 29th March - Seniesa Estrada v Yokasta Valle

And yet another decent female match up , tbh they're really showing the boys how to do it these days if im being honest. Unbeaten 'Super Bad' Estrada (24 Fights - 24 Wins (9 KOs)) retained the WBA Female Minimumweight Title and won the WBC Female Minimumweight title in her last fight when beating the decent Tina Rupprecht by a well deserved unanimous decision , and shes looking to take the IBF / WBO mini flyweight titles from Valle (31 Fights - 29 Wins (9 KOs) - 2 Losses) to come away as the undisputed champ and i have to say that i fancy her chances. .. Valle hasnt lost since 2018 when she lost by UD to Tina Rupprecht , so is on a 16 fight winning streak but in all fairness none of the opposition are in Estrada's league imo , whereas Estrada has been fighting better quality opposition as she goes along , that being said this will be without doubt the biggest fight of her career to date. Both are talented boxers from what i've seen to date and theres a bit of personal rivalry between the two which should add a bit of flavour to the bout , Estrada has , for me , the heavier hands and i see her going for it from the first bell. I have Estrada winning this , probably on points , altho it wont be all one way traffic.

Guess this is a controversial opinion , but did Mike Tyson ever beat a boxer of genuine merit. My view is no he didn’t.
Pantomime Dame Frank Bruno, a petrified Michael Spinks and an ageing past it Larry Holmes who had been beaten by Michael Spinks are the highlights. The Mike Tyson phenomenon is the very definition of hyperbole. He never defeated any opponent of serious worth, and was exposed every time he faced one.
People talk about him as one of the greatest, I just fail to understand this nonsense.

 

[Sean]

Gotta say i think you're wrong O Outlander , he'd of beaten who was in front of him at the time , whoever it was .. he was exposed after D'Amato died and he went off the rails

all subjective as you say though

Saturday 30th March - Erislandy Lara v Michael Zerafa

Quite an interesting match up this one , Cuban Erislandy Lara (35 Fights - 29 Wins (17 KOs) - 3 Losses - 3 Draws) hasnt been seen since stopping Gary O'Sullivan in his first defence of the WBA (Regular) Middleweight Title back in May of 2022 , and it was just over a year before that fight that he won the title when knocking out Thomas LaManna in the first round .. so despite looking good in those two fights his lack of ring activity has to be of concern imho. Zerafa (35 Fights - 31 Wins (19 KOs) - 4 Losses) has also been out of the ring for a while , having last seen the inside of a ring back in November 2022 when seeing off the challenge of Danilo Creati by unanimous decision. So both have ring lay offs to overcome , and whilst im fairly certain that both will be up for the challenge it has to be a red flag in some sense. Lara is now 40 years of age , whilst Zefara is 31 , so age could be a factor in the outcome but Lara , for me , was so talented , and despite his age hasnt got many pro bouts under his belt (had a distinguished amateur career though) .. hes fought the better boxers (including Jarrett Hurd and Canelo Alvarez) and i think his know how and knowledge is gonna prove too much for Zerafa here. Biggest names on Zerafas resume to date are Kell Brook (Lost) and Jeff Horn (Twice , won once lost once) .. and whilst hes a capable boxer with decent power i think Lara's ring smarts could prove to be too problematic for him. The only thing is , as i say , the time out of the ring , will it play a part in the outcome of the fight , cant answer that one really but Lara would be my bet to come out on top.

Erislandy Lara To Win

Saturday 30th March - Rolando Romero v Isaac Cruz

Definatley looking forward to this one as it should be a banger and im really having trouble deciding who i think is gonna come out on top as it could easily go either way .. Romero (16 Fights - 15 Wins (13 KOs) - 1 Loss) beat Ismael Barroso last time , by TKO , to win the vacant WBA Super Lightweght title and in all honesty i think that was a decent enough display but against an ageing fighter who he should of really done better against and the stoppage was a tad controversial , before that he was stopped by Gervonta Davis in the sixth which is the only loss on his record to date. Whilst Cruz (31 Fights - 28 Wins (20 KOs) - 2 Losses - 1 Draw) comes into the fight looking for a fourth consecutive win after putting the loss to Gervonta Davis by Unanimous Decision behind him. I think this is a difficult one to call in all honesty , but i favour Cruz as i think he's the better boxer and his work rate / output is second to none , i think it'll get potentially messy in places , but i cant see Romero escaping the relentless 'Pitbull' for 12 rounds , both can punch , Romero probably harder of the two , but Cruz has proven he has a solid chin and he'd have to catch him clean if hes to stand a chance of a knockout i think , but on the whole im seeing Cruz doing what he does best , overwhelming his opponent and even though he has decent height and reach advantages i just dont think hes good enough to capitalise on them , unless hes improved a helluva lot , the only way i see him stopping Cruz over whelming him is to tie him up but even then i dont see him stopping the relentless seek and destroy style of fighting that Cruz employs for long , and i see it being a long night for Romero if he cant stop Cruz as he comes at you all fight long and has a helluva an engine. I think theres a possibilty of Romero stopping him , but i honestly cant see it so im going to say that Pitbull relinquishes him of his belt and walks away the new champ.

Isaac Cruz To Win

ISAAC CRUZ WINS ... By TKO

Saturday 30th March - Tim Tszyu v Sebastian Fundora

Well despite the fact that Tsyzu (24 Fights - 24 Wins (17 KOs) was supposed to be fighting Keith Thurman (pulled out) he now faces Sebastian Fundora (22 Fights - 20 Wins (13 KOs) - 1 Loss - 1 Draw) , so fair play to both fighters for stepping up to the plate , both fighters were due to fight actually so their training would of been focussed on their respective opponents so it makes me even better of them in a way , especially Tszyu who was facing a 5'10" Thurman and now faces a 6'5 1/2" Fundora ! ...... To be honest i think this is likely to be a better fight than Tszyu's original match up .. I think Tszyu is getting better as he goes along and i have a feeling that Fundora is in for a torrid time , Tszyu is a relentless pressure fighter and to overcome that Fundora is going to have to try and keep Tszyu on the back foot , but i cant see it happening , he must use his lengthy jab obviously but because of his height he has to punch downwards , which would allow Tzsyu to throw overhand rights and lefts and because of his power surely one of them , or an accumulation of them , is gonna tell sooner or later. Fundora also has a tendency to leave himself open on the inside , probably because of his length , and i can see Tszyu capitalising on that and peppering his body with heavy shots and with how hard he hits , Fundora could possibly fold .. I think Fundora has a chance but in all honesty its a small one and i can only see this going one way personally and that a Tim Tszyu win , very likely by a stoppage.

Tim Tszyu To Win

Two out of three last night , bit gutted with the Tszyu / Fundora fight , but thats boxing , didnt help that Tsyzu recieved a nasty looking cut that obviously affected his vision in the third round but no excuses from the fella (fair play to him , but i think the fight should of been stopped and declared a no contest in all honesty) and im hoping that there will be a rematch as i think minus the cut Tszyu would of won

So far this year ive posted 25 write ups with 19 coming in , could of got a couple of others tbh , as i put in the write ups i went with my heart and not my head (which i keep saying i wont but always end up doing lol) , namely Eggington / Barou and Buatsi / Azeez .. and the one draw i feel Ball done enough to take the fight so a bit miffed about that one .. oh well onwards and upwards , Frazier and Wardley tonight with more to come in April and May including the Uysk and Fury bout .. some good fights coming up and hopefully some equally as good bouts will be made for the latter half of the year

Saturday 20th April - Jessica McCaskill v Ivana Habazin

Jessica McCaskill (16 Fights - 12 Wins (5 KOs) - 3 Losses - 1 Draw) is currently ranked as the best active female Welterweight in the world and should be too much for the Croatian Ivana Habazin (26 Fights - 21 Wins (7 KOs) - 5 Losses) , McCaskill comes into this on the back of a draw last time with Britains Sandy Ryan (altho i had Ryan as winning that fight tbh) and before that she lost to Katie Taylor conquerer Chantelle Cameron , but despite those last two fights shes levels above Habazin imho and should bring too much to the ring for her opponent , Habazin is a decent enough boxer but every time she steps up to world level shes lost , Cecilia Braekhus (2014) , Clarissa Shields (2020) and Terri Harper (2023) being the three that catch my eye immediatley , and i cant see her changing that here tbh. I see McCaskill outboxing Habazin and retaining her belts.

Jessica McCaskill To Win

Sunday 31st March - Fabio Wardley v Frazer Clarke

Anticipated fight this one , and hopefully should see some fireworks. Wardley (17 Fights - 17 Wins (16 KOs)) has come up from a somewhat different route compared to most , not the amateurs for him , he was once a decent footballer who found himself involved in white collar boxing and from there onto the pro ranks where he now sits on an unbeaten record and holding the British and WBA Continental Heavyweight Titles , along with the WBO European and Commonwealth Heavyweight Titles , the latter pair he won (and the first two he retained) after stopping David Adeleye in the seventh round back in October of last year. Clarke (8 Fights - 8 Wins (6 KOs)) has made a bit of a stilted start to his pro boxing career to be honest , considering he had a glittering amateur career it has to be said he hasnt exactly set the world on fire in any of his eight fights to date. I think Clarke has looked laboured , almost robotic at times , so far and hes gonna have to improve and have a good game plan if hes to beat Wardley. Hes definatley going to have to keep Wardley at range as if it turns into a battle then i can only see one outcome , Wardley doesnt mind a war , hes aggressive and throws plenty , all with intent and he'll be looking to finish this and his opponent at the first opportunity. I can see him coming out and taking it to Clarke from the off , and unless Clarke can catch him cleanly , then i think Wardley wears him down and eventually stops him.

Fabio Wardley To Win .. By Stoppage

Saturday 18th May - Joe Cordina v Anthony Cacace

Decent bout on the undercard of Uysk v Fury and its an intruiging match up that i'm looking forward to watching. Welshman Cordina (17 Fights - 17 Wins (9 KOs)) comes in on the back of a deserved majority decision against Edward Vasquez , and before that beat the fearsome and then unbeaten Shavkat Rakhimov by split decision , that win was a bittersweet one tbh as he'd KO'd Kenichi Ogawa in the second round in his previous fight to win the IBF Super Featherweight title , but due to an injury he had to pull out of his scheduled bout with Rakhimov and the IBF stripped him of the title (which was a bit harsh when you consider the amount of champions who sit on their belts these days without defending them) , so he had to go out and do it all again , and he did ! For me that was his best win to date , and helped to showcase what a good , solid fighter he is. Northern Irishman Cacace (22 Fights - 21 Wins (7 KOs) - 1 Loss) arrives in decent nick having won his last six fights , since his first and only loss to Martin Joseph Ward for the British and vacant Commonwealth Super Featherweight Titles , he won the British Super Featherweight belt by beating Sam Bowen by split decision back in 2019 and won the IBO Super Featherweight title in his penultimate fight when beating Michael Magnesi in September of 2022 , he retained that title in his last fight by outpointing Damien Wrzesinski in May of last year. Both belts are on the line so i think this makes for an interesting domestic dust up. .... Cacace is a good boxer and a switch hitter which could make things awkward for Cordina , but for me , Cordina is the better boxer with better fundamentals , and i think he hits harder. Should be a good fight to watch , abit of too'ing and fro'ing , not one sided but i think Cordina will get stronger as the fight progresses and in my personal opinion is a level above Cacace and will come out on top in a hard fought bout.

Joe Cordina To Win

Former British and Commonwealth champion Chris Jenkins has announced his retirement after an abnormality showed up on his annual brain scan.

Shame - but it shows the usefulness of the scans - my prefers sport these days is rugby and we are constantly getting reports of “hidden “ head injuries and other associated problems - the authorities are making many moves to try and keep the sport safe , we now have electronic recording mouth guards - wonder how long it before head guards are compulsory - don’t know how pro boxing had managed to avoid such measures

Not interested in the Mike Tyson / Jake Paul clown show at all to be honest but have seen that Katie Taylor takes on Amanda Serrano as a co main event , their first fight was a real battle so looking forward to part two if it goes ahead
